Golf Digest - Subscribed Back Issues, Pay For? I am a print subscriber. I am aware that you can get the electronic edition of Golf Digest on Google Play Magazines for free if u are a valid subscriber of the print edition. However, it appears that I can only get past issues from the date of when I registered for the electronic edition of the magazine. WHY??? For example, if I started my print subscription in January, but I registered for the electronic edition on Google Play Magazines April, then I can only get the electronic editions starting with the April edition. If I wanted to download the electronic version of the February edition then I have to PAY for it...!!! WHY??? This is NOT how it works on the iPad! On the iPad past editions are FREE as long as the magazine falls within the period from when your print edition started! Example, if I started my print subscription in January, but I registered for the electronic edition on the iPad during April, then I can download any electronic edition of the magazine, starting with the January edition, any past edition is FREE!!! This is very upsetting and makes me regret buying and Android tablet!!! :-(

FINALLY! Paid Android tablet subscribers can acces After WAY TO LONG Conde Nast has allowed general android tablet subscribers to get the digital version via Google Play. You can access it free using your subscription information. It didn't like my login stuff so I had to create a "new" account but everything went fine from there. The digital version includes interactive features like videos and moving pictures etc. It all worked flawlessly and loaded quickly. A well done digital publication and a great golf magazine! It's about time! I was this --><--- close to switching my subscription to *other* major golf publication to have the digital version for free when this was finally made available. Better late than never.

Difficult After about 10 attempts to setup an account and download this app I am giving up tonight. Many times attempted to opt out of spam and kept getting kicked out of the application process. When i gave up and decided to accept the spam my credit card was rejected for a reason I am not sure of. After a good night sleep I might attempt this tomorrow. Golf Digest, this process sucks!

Worthless Tech Support Still not able to add this magazine to my tablet after 3 emails to Tech Support. They keep telling me to click on a "free" option that doesn't exist. I even sent them a screenshot of what I was seeing and of course their response was to select the "free" option. Decided to stop wasting my time on it. Would recommend you doing the same.

Impossible To Register As a paid print subscriber , I have tried to register for the digital version several times with no luck. I have tried using my account number and also with my address. Your instruction prompts are also not very user friendly. I will try again and if not successful will be content until my subscription is over next Feb and then be satisfied with the Golf Magazine. Unfortunate......

New interactions are amazing I've been reading this magazine for a few months now. Recently I noticed that the format has been changed and has been greatly improved. Not only is the text easier to read and you don't have to keep switching from text mode to print mode but there tons of media and extra content. Tons of little things to find in the stories your interested in. These additional features gives it the edge over print. Even if the digital costs are comparable or even slightly more than print.

Registering for digital use IMPOSSIBLE Impossible to register. Followed instructions fully. Says to go to "free for print subscribers" no where is that said. Scam to get you to pay twice. Thinking of canceling subscription

An Unfinished Work I am a hard copy subscriber, but I could not find a way to download this app successfully. I am truly disappointed and frustrated with Golf Digest and/or their technical team for making this more difficult to accomplish than transcribing my doctor's hand writing while juggling 3 chain saws standing on my head under water.

Free to subscribers w iPad or kindle. Everyone else pays! This is total bull$###. I used to have this on my kindle fire as an extra to my paper sub. But it broke and I bought the Nexus 7. Does not work on it or my GS3.I googled and learned we are all screwed. It only works on kindle or nook, yet website shows for android. I refuse to pay twice for this. I feel cheated.

Good Magazine / Terrible Pricing. I like that magazine but no way am I going to pay these inflated prices. I'd rather go to CVS & get it off the rack. I don't understand how a digital copy cost as much as a printed version.

Print subscriber FINALLY happy Its great that they offer the digital version for free to print subscribers, to bad I get an error when I try and access it using my Golf Digest account information. Good grief!!!! Update: Looks like the issue getting my digital subscription working has been resolved. Got EXCELLENT support from Google on the matter.

Bad pricing There's just no way I'm paying the same amount for a physical copy as you're asking me to pay for the digital copy. Knock this down to about 2-3 bucks, but then you might finally see some people consider it.

Easy to get digital copy for free For other comments about paying twice you are incorrect. Just enter Subscribe tab and the third choice is "free I already have a paper subscription". Then just complete the process using your mailing label account #. No paying twice.

Great on Nex 7 Not a print subscriber, so I can't speak to the issues folks are having with not being able to view the digital mag...just subscribed to the digital version with free trial to test on my tab..very easy to read, interactive mode is sweet, free videos, control swing sequence images, audio analysis, etc.. Would probably not be as great on a cell...but a must if you have a tablet...get your game together just in time for spring!

Unable to register I am a paying customer of the same but in printed form. The site has been bugging me to sign up for the digital version. The system won't accept my acct# or mailing address, so how else can I get access? Needs fixed!

Terrible! Can't access. I keep trying to put in my email and password and keeps coming up "invalid credentials" even though I just made a password one day ago to use free print on google play, TERRIBLE!!

No Love for Native Android I have a print subscription, so I get a gorgeous iPad issue with bonus videos for free. I also get a free version on my Amazon Kindle. But no free version for my Razr Maxx or Xoom. What gives?

Error Won't let me download without some sort of billable account method, but is supposed to be free for print subscribers so it shouldn't need billing info. Oh well, thanks anyway, back to the printed version.

Free for print subscribers? You say that the magazine is free for print subscribers, but I see no place to give my account information. Maybe the blame is on Google, not Golf Digest. Either way, it's an issue that needs fixing.

Sub to it you ignorant complainers Subscribe to the magazine month by month. It's $2/mo. It can be cancelled at anytime. So quit your complaining. Your golf game must suck because you are not smart enough to figure things out.

Excellent, but not Excellent interaction and video tutorials. Some neat animations etc.. i bought a subscription but was disappointed to find u could not download back issues. You have to pay 4.99 each. Kind of a sham. Apparently on the apple store previous editions are free.

just paid for digital edition and print, but can not load digital edition from win dows 7 using google play, if you can pay for something on a web site, their should be a way to also use it on a laptop. not go to another tool like an apple or nook, love the publication but need access so i give it a big fat zero stars till i get access to digital service i paid for from my laptop (preferred method for viewing online info)

From an Avid golfer to life of as a New Father Thank you for this well built UI! From 11 years old to now my '' golden years'' at 31-- I have rarely missed a month of your publication. Diaper changing now has its upside. I plan to teach after all this reading. Happy Holidays - DF
